Is there a way to hide a user from other users? Fx programs like w, who, u As Terry has already pointed out, jails are probably your best bet. > ps: 1. I hope that in the future FreeBSD will remain a servers only OS. As Terry also said, volunteers work on things they like to work on, but that said it's probably also a safe bet that those who really wanted to work on desktop operating systems are already doing that outside of FreeBSD. "Inside" of FreeBSD, people tend to focus on what customers are expressing a need for and most of our customers are server folks. Draw your own conclusions. :) > 2.
